Theatre Reviews

Love the reclining chairs and really appreciate the variety of movies. Have seen some amazing shows there that not come to the bigger theatres.

I agree best popcorn anywhere

I love this theatre because it is smaller than the cineplex theatres and much quieter. They also tend to play quality films.

I lived in Barrie for many years. Unfortunately, life took me back to Toronto. When I am looking for a movie, I often check what's playing at the Uptown and wish I could go! Sometimes I do because my parents are still in town. Best theatre around!!

Love the recliner seating. Ticket and concession prices are the lowest in the area.

Gem of a theatre

It is a lovely theatre. Terrific follow up to dinner at one of Barrie's finer restaurants. The popcorn is great. Really an enjoyable theatre, and locally owned, not part of a chain.

Great movie value and variety in the heart of downtown Barrie!

December 13, 2014

I don't know how they make money charging $5 (taxes in) for a matinee movie...but it's the best deal around! My husband and I often go to a 4:00 Saturday movie ($10 total), then walk to one of the fabulous downtown Barrie restaurants for dinner afterwards. It's even better when we get theater #3 with it's comfy reclining seats!
Movie variety at the Barrie Uptown is fabulous. They bring in the BFF (Barrie Film Fest) each fall, and also have film fest movies the first Wednesday/Thursday of each month, and then another one on the third Thursday for "date night".
My only complaint is that cleanliness is sometimes an issue. We had to brush popcorn off our seats last weekend before sitting down (from the previous patrons). However, the good far outweighs this minor inconvenience for us.
